Paragraph 2 Movement prohibitions and restrictions
England and Wales
Where an inspector has reasonable grounds to believe that a ruminant or non-ruminant farmed animal has been fed or has had access to any animal protein (or anything containing animal protein)—
which is prohibited by Article 7 and Annex IV in relation to that animal; or
for which the inspector cannot establish the origin,
the inspector may take the action specified in sub-paragraph (2).
The inspector may serve a notice on the owner or person in charge of the animal in accordance with regulation 16 prohibiting or restricting the movement of the animal and requiring it to be kept in such manner as the notice provides.
Where the notice is served in respect of a bovine animal, the inspector must—
ensure that its cattle passport is stamped “Not for human consumption”; or
seize or detain its cattle passport, in which case the cattle passport may be so stamped before being returned.
It is an offence to consign for slaughter for human consumption or to slaughter for human consumption any animal whose cattle passport has been stamped in accordance with sub-paragraph (3).
